Ultrasound

Riverview has a very high quality veterinary-specific ultrasound machine for use on Small Animals only. This useful diagnostic tool can help to see inside your pets abdomen or chest to identify problems, without any invasive procedures. For example: abdominal tumours can be seen, the presence or absence of abdominal fluid, fluid around the heart. Sometimes, in more complicated or high risk patients, we get the expertise of a specialist ultrasonographer in order to confirm or rule out a potential problem.
